Our client, a global gaming and entertainment leader, is hiring for a contract Retail Print Production Manager. This is a mostly remote position, with occasional onsite in San Mateo, CA as needed.

This role will support high-volume print and retail display production across marketing campaigns, product launches, and events. This individual will also be critical in ensuring the timely, cost-effective, and high-quality execution of physical marketing assets—including POP displays, branded merchandise, signage, and event collateral. You’ll collaborate daily with internal teams and external vendors, owning project timelines, budgets, and production logistics from start to finish.

Contract Duration: 3-months initially; great chance to extend to 12 months and potentially longer

What You’ll Do:
• Evaluate project briefs and define production scope, requirements, and expectations
• Collect and communicate all production details: templates, materials, dimensions, specs
• Source and manage quotes, estimates, and production timelines from vendors
• Review and proof final assets to ensure alignment with brand standards and retailer specs
• Coordinate production logistics: shipping, kitting, delivery, and installation timelines
• Partner with internal design, marketing, and retail teams, along with outside agencies and vendors
• Create and test new temporary retail displays, including in-store measurements and material validation
• Manage vendor contracts, performance, and procurement processes
• Provide regular updates to stakeholders, including daily and weekly progress reports
• Track and manage POs, invoices, and overall production budgets
• Identify cost-saving opportunities across print and distribution channels
• Maintain accurate financial reporting for each project

Skills & Qualifications:
• 5–7 years of experience in print production management (materials, timelines, proofing, logistics)
• 3–4 years of experience in retail displays or in-store marketing production
• Proven success in vendor selection, cost negotiation, and project bidding
• Strong understanding of various print formats and substrates (offset digital, offset web, etc.)
• Highly organized with outstanding attention to detail and quality control
• Strong critical thinking skills; self-starter with a proactive, solutions-oriented mindset
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
• Excellent communication and project reporting skills
• Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat) and Microsoft Office
• Familiarity with cloud-based project tracking tools and online proofing platforms is a plus
• Bachelor’s Degree required
• Minimum 2 years in mid- to senior-level project or production management

Preferred Experience:
• Extensive experience in managing end-to-end print production, including specifications, bidding, vendor oversight, fulfillment, mailing, and invoicing
• Expertise in a range of print methods and materials, from offset and digital printing to branded merchandise and event displays
